The ECLAP Working Groups

ECLAP's first priority is to forge strong links with the Performing Arts community (theatre, music, dance, and live arts). We are looking to share experiences and exchange knowledge with institutions/experts whose interests are germane to ECLAP. For this reason, within the overall consortium the ECLAP Best Practice Network has established three Working Groups (WGs), whose themes focus on:

ECLAP provides unique access to an unprecedented range of audio-visual material from the main European performing arts institutions.More than one million items pertaining to classes and rehearsals of the great masters of theatre and dance of the 20th century are featured, but also the great masterpieces of oral tradition, as well as unique videos, images and texts related to more than 50 years of activity of the Nobel Laureates Dario Fo and Franca Rame.
